Description

The following are vendor questions and the Government's responses: 1.QUESTION: The information which you have failed to supply about the potential trips gives and ENORMOUS advantage to the incumbent, and creates a HUGE disadvantage for any company that does not have a trip history. While the incumbent knows how many trips they are able to put together (multi-load), as well as how many trips on average are inside the 15-mile radius, the outside company has no way of knowing how many or how often these types of trips occur. This level of disadvantage appears to be very biased toward the incumbent, although I am sure that this is not intended. I hope that you will reconsider your answer to #9 and allow some type of trip history. Otherwise, we will not be able to respond fairly and will assume, and allege, a government bias toward the incumbent. ANSWER: We do not have this information. We have provided a 12-month estimate of what the Government anticipates its needs are. If more information becomes available, it will be posted on Fedbizopps. 2.QUESTION: Is this solicitation set aside 100% Small Business or will you accept a bid from a system that is not considered a Small Business Concern. ANSWER: This solicitation is setaside for 100% Small Business; no bids will be accepted any vendor who is not a Small Business.
